was all immense blubber and harpooned
it. It Immediately collapsed and was
taken on board, the Newberryport papers
of the previous day being found in the
car. The professor has been ever since
actively engaged as an aeronaut, and at
various times has taken up every mem
Der of his family, having in thirty-fye
years made over 300 ascenslons. His son,
John, Jr., who Will take up the "Inde-
pendence" to-day, made his first ascen-
sion at the age of S, with his grandfather.
CAUGHT IN \ SNOW STORM.
One of the most notable ascensions
that has been made was made by him,
under the direction of his father, at
Waynesburg, Green county, when he
was onty Ii years old. After wording a
half day at Initiating the balloon, the sup
ply Of gas gave out when the balloon
was only La!s fuI. The balloon refused
to ascend with the boy, when his father
decided to do thing that has never be-
fore or since been attempted. He cut
the lower hall of the balloon of. While
be was doing this some ohicious specta-
tor cut the valve rope two feet beyond
the boys reach, and in the midst Of a
rain storm the l4-year-old aeronaut went
sailing into space, and beyond the
clouds, hatless and coatless and without
valve cord.
He was directed by his father not to
go over two miles, but beidg unable to
reach the valve cord, he got caught il
heavy snow storm and was driven forty
miles in forty minutes. Landing where
there were 10 means of communication,
he was not heard from for two days.
The excitement OF the citizens was so
intense that they organized committee
to search for and give him reception
when found. When he was found the
citizens filled bis nat with money. He
was nearly frozen to death during the
voyage, and when he descended was COW
cred with icicles. Since then he has
made $50 ascensions without an accident.
TWO REMARKABLE AsCESs1oNs.
The highest ascension ever made was
on September ), 1862, by James Clash
er, F. Il. S. He left the earth with
aeronaut Goggswell at Wolverhampton,
England, ht LOB p. M, and at l.54 was
$4,000 feet high, going mp at the rate of
1000 feet per Minute. i;e kept on as
cending until the balloon attained an
altitude of 81, 900 feet. Glaisher became
utterly unconscious, but Coggswell
climbed up the ropes and pulled the
valve rope with his teeth. They de-
scended at the rate OF 1000 feet per min
ute until the balloon formed parachute,
when it came down easily, seven miles
from the starting point.
The longest and fastest balloon voyage
was made on July l, 1859, by John
Wise, ST., La Mountain and Oliver P.
eager, of New York. They left st.
Louis at p. H., and landed in Jefer
son county, New York, at 2.35 p. m. the
next day, the distance being LOO miles
as the bird flies, and 1900 miles as the
balloon few.

1851 A MILD TORNADO YEAR.

Tie number OF tornadoes reported
from January l to June II, 1887, IS l23.
Ia 1856, for the same period, there were
PIG. which shows that taken yearly there
are great fluctuations. The figures SO
far indicate 1855 is very much milder
tornado year than 1856. IN July the
Eastern States begin to contribute their
proportion in addition to those still due
in the Western States. The most i'm
portant deductions from the signal ser
vice statistics is that there is no evidence
Of variation in the number Of tornadocs,
but only IN apparent increase caused ~
better reportorial and press facilities.
It would require a vast lapse Of tine
to demonstrate the theory that the cut
ting away Of forests affects the number
and deadly violence Of tornadoes. They
may be considered fixed characteristic
of the United States, like the geological
formation of the mountain ranges, and
the average number may be considered
as little subject to change. They seem
an inevitable result Of the movement OF
immense masses OF air over comparative
ly level plains and on the boundaries be-
tween the temperate and torrid zones.
Tornadoes occur in India and Japan,
and parts Of Europe where land surfaces
are free from extended mountain ranges.
It would be valuable contribution to
science if the tornadoes that occur IN
India and Japan were classified and re-
corded. This might lead to the further
advancement of the science Of tornado
prediction in the United States, which at
present awaits the action of Congress to
carry it to a high degree Of perfection,
saving many lives and much valuable
property.

were carried forward for several hundred
years an astonishing regularity would be
discovered. The statistics already show
great advance in this direction.

LOSSES OF LIFE AND PROPERTY.

The value of property reported 10 the
signal service as destroyed IN 2Oo years
years was about S2S,00O,000. Lieutenant
Finlay estimates this to be about one
tenth the actual value, making the total
losses about $500, 100000.
The number of deaths reported was
3,l65, and the injured 5,G49.
These figures are doubtless much be-
low the actual damage, because tornado
reports include the main facts only. The
transmission of news is partly obstruct-
ed, and isolated regions escape report.
The comparison Of number OF lorna
does, with the amount Of forest land by
States, according to the United States
census, indicates that these storms are
not apprcciately Influenced by the pres
ence or absence of forests. Tornadoes
are caused by the persistent movement
and accumulation OF air masses on an
immense scale. Forests and other local
features Of landscape have little effect.
The signal service reported 2S0 lorna
does for 1886, 1876 for 1885, 200 for 1854,
i'll for 1889, and from that time back to
1870 the number diminishes to 8. This
does not represent q change in the actual
number, but only indicates additional
facilities for observation, due to the
steadily increasing interest taken by the
press and people, as well as to the or
ganization of large staff Of voluntary
tornado reporters in 1854, Under the SUI
pervision OF Lieutenant Finlay. In 1855
the number of reporters had increased to
J, 500 and in 1856 to $500. This large
working force sent in an immense mass
of very valuable information, due to the
good will of the people. These reports
are used in estimating averges which
will serve as foundations upon which the
work can and will be carried forward for
centuries. By this means the danger for
given regions will be so well known that
tornado Insurance premiums can be esti-
| mated Justly, and in that manner much

THE WISE FAMILY,

Professor Charles Wise, under whose
direction the Independence will be
sent up, is the son of the late Professor
John Wise, Sr., who was lost while
making an aerial voyage. He made his
first ascension thirty-seven years ago,
when but 13 years OF age, at atShannandale
Springs, West Virginia. He went up
two and one-half miles and staid up
three hours, landing sixty-six miles from
the starting point, to which place he re-
turned in an o. cart. -Four years later
he made an ascension from Newberry-
port, M;Ss., on the occasion Of a civic
celebrati6A The wind was blowing to-
ward theez esn and the committee offer
ed to pay the price Of the ascension
rather than take any risks, but after con-
sulting with his father he decided to
make the ascension. After going up
,0JO feet very rapidly and descending
still more rapidly he struck Plum Island
bar. As there were no inhabitants and
no place TO grapple tie only alternative
was TO jump our OF the car. This he did,
landing safely in the sand.
The balloon, ightened OF it's load, shot
into the air and blew out TO sea. The
next morning it was picked up by a
Thaler eco miles away and brought into
Provincetown. The whole ascent and
descent occupied one-haE hour. The
sailors on the whaler, when they saw the
balloon floating in the water, thovght it
